Gentiles Grafted In
11 So I ask, did they stumble in order that they might fall? By no means! Rather, through their trespass (A)salvation has come to the Gentiles, so as to make Israel jealous. 12 Now if their trespass means riches for the world, and if their failure means riches for the Gentiles, how much more will their full inclusion[a] mean!
13 Now I am speaking to you Gentiles. Inasmuch then as (B)I am an apostle to the Gentiles, I magnify my ministry 14 in order somehow to make my fellow Jews jealous, and (C)thus save some of them. 15 For if their rejection means (D)the reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance mean but life from the dead? 16 (E)If the dough offered as firstfruits is holy, so is the whole lump, and if the root is holy, so are the branches.
17 But if (F)some of the branches were broken off, and you, (G)although a wild olive shoot, were grafted in among the others and now share in the nourishing root[b] of the olive tree, 18 do not be arrogant toward the branches. If you are, remember it is not you who support the root, but the root that supports you. 19 Then you will say, “Branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in.” 20 That is true. They were broken off because of their unbelief, but you (H)stand fast through faith. So (I)do not become proud, but (J)fear. 21 For if God did not spare the natural branches, neither will he spare you. 22 Note then the kindness and the severity of God: severity toward those who have fallen, but God's kindness to you, (K)provided you continue in his kindness. Otherwise (L)you too will be cut off. 23 And (M)even they, if they do not continue in their unbelief, will be grafted in, for God has the power to graft them in again. 24 For if you were cut from what is by nature a wild olive tree, and grafted, contrary to nature, into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these, the natural branches, be grafted back into their own olive tree.

The Lord Will Restore Israel
25 “Therefore thus says the Lord God: Now (A)I will restore the fortunes of Jacob and have mercy on (B)the whole house of Israel, and (C)I will be jealous for my holy name. 26 They shall (D)forget their shame and all the treachery they have practiced against me, when (E)they dwell securely in their land with (F)none to make them afraid, 27 (G)when I have brought them back from the peoples and gathered them from their enemies' lands, (H)and through them have vindicated my holiness in the sight of many nations. 28 (I)Then they shall know that I am the Lord their God, because I sent them into exile among the nations and then assembled them into their own land. I will leave none of them remaining among the nations anymore. 29 (J)And I will not hide my face anymore from them, when (K)I pour out my Spirit upon the house of Israel, declares the Lord God.”
Vision of the New Temple
40 (L)In the twenty-fifth year (M)of our exile, at the beginning of the year, on the tenth day of the month, (N)in the fourteenth year after the city was struck down, on that very day, (O)the hand of the Lord was upon me, and he brought me to the city.[a] 2 In (P)visions of God he brought me to the land of Israel, and set me down on (Q)a very high mountain, on which was a structure like a city to the south. 3 When he brought me there, behold, there was (R)a man whose appearance was (S)like bronze, with (T)a linen cord and (U)a measuring reed in his hand. And he was standing in the gateway. 4 And the man said to me, (V)“Son of man, (W)look with your eyes, and (X)hear with your ears, and set your heart upon all that I shall show you, for you were brought here in order that I might show it to you. (Y)Declare all that you see to the house of Israel.”
The East Gate to the Outer Court
5 And behold, there was (Z)a wall all around the outside of the temple area, and the length of the measuring reed in the man's hand was six long cubits, (AA)each being a cubit and a handbreadth[b] in length. So he measured the thickness of the wall, one reed; and the height, one reed. 6 Then he went into (AB)the gateway facing east, (AC)going up its steps, and measured the threshold of the gate, one reed deep.[c] 7 And (AD)the side rooms, one reed long and one reed broad; and the space between the side rooms, five cubits; and the threshold of the gate by the vestibule of the gate at the inner end, one reed. 8 Then he measured the vestibule of the gateway, on the inside, one reed. 9 Then he measured the vestibule of the gateway, eight cubits; (AE)and its jambs, two cubits; and the vestibule of the gate was at the inner end. 10 And there were three side rooms on either side of the east gate. (AF)The three were of the same size, and the jambs on either side were of the same size. 11 Then he measured the width of the opening of the gateway, ten cubits; and the length of the gateway, thirteen cubits. 12 There was a barrier before the side rooms, one cubit on either side. And the side rooms were six cubits on either side. 13 Then he measured the gate from the ceiling of the one side room to the ceiling of the other, a breadth of twenty-five cubits; the openings faced each other. 14 He measured also (AG)the vestibule, sixty cubits. And around the vestibule of the gateway was the court.[d] 15 From the front of the gate at the entrance to the front of the inner vestibule of the gate was fifty cubits. 16 And the gateway had (AH)windows all around, narrowing inwards toward the side rooms and toward their (AI)jambs, and likewise the vestibule had windows all around inside, and on the jambs were (AJ)palm trees.
The Outer Court
17 Then he brought me into (AK)the outer court. And behold, there were (AL)chambers and a (AM)pavement, all around the court. (AN)Thirty chambers faced the pavement. 18 And the pavement ran along the side of the gates, corresponding to the length of the gates. This was the lower pavement. 19 Then he measured the distance from the inner front of the lower gate to the outer front of the inner court,[e] a hundred cubits on the east side and on the north side.[f]
The North Gate
20 As for (AO)the gate that faced toward the north, belonging to (AP)the outer court, he measured its length and its breadth. 21 Its (AQ)side rooms, three on either side, and its jambs and its vestibule were of the same size as those of (AR)the first gate. Its length was (AS)fifty cubits, and its breadth (AT)twenty-five cubits. 22 And (AU)its windows, its vestibule, and (AV)its palm trees were of the same size as those of the gate that faced toward the east. And by seven steps (AW)people would go up to it, and find its vestibule before them. 23 And opposite the gate on the north, as on the east, was a gate to (AX)the inner court. And (AY)he measured from gate to gate, a hundred cubits.
The South Gate
24 And he led me toward the south, and behold, there was a gate on the south. And (AZ)he measured its jambs and its vestibule; they had the same size as the others. 25 Both it and its vestibule (BA)had windows all around, like the windows of the others. Its length was fifty cubits, and its breadth twenty-five cubits. 26 And there were seven steps leading up to it, and its vestibule was before them, and it had (BB)palm trees on its jambs, one on either side. 27 And there was a gate on the south of (BC)the inner court. And he measured from gate to gate toward the south, a hundred cubits.
The Inner Court
28 Then he brought me to (BD)the inner court through the south gate, and (BE)he measured the south gate. It was of the same size as the others. 29 Its (BF)side rooms, its jambs, and its vestibule were of the same size as the others, and both it and its vestibule (BG)had windows all around. (BH)Its length was fifty cubits, and its breadth twenty-five cubits. 30 And there were vestibules all around, twenty-five cubits long and five cubits broad. 31 Its vestibule faced the outer court, and (BI)palm trees were on its jambs, and (BJ)its stairway had eight steps.
32 Then he brought me to the inner court on the east side, and (BK)he measured the gate. It was of the same size as the others. 33 Its side rooms, its jambs, and its vestibule were of the same size as the others, and both it and its vestibule had windows all around. Its length was fifty cubits, and its breadth twenty-five cubits. 34 (BL)Its vestibule faced the outer court, and it had palm trees on its jambs, on either side, and its stairway had eight steps.
35 Then he brought me to (BM)the north gate, and (BN)he measured it. It had the same size as the others. 36 Its side rooms, its jambs, and its vestibule were of the same size as the others,[g] and it had windows all around. Its length was fifty cubits, and its breadth twenty-five cubits. 37 Its vestibule[h] faced the outer court, and it had palm trees on its jambs, on either side, and its stairway had eight steps.
38 There was (BO)a chamber with its door in the vestibule of the gate,[i] (BP)where the burnt offering was to be washed. 39 And in the vestibule of the gate were two (BQ)tables on either side, on which the (BR)burnt offering and the (BS)sin offering and the (BT)guilt offering were to be slaughtered. 40 And off to the side, on the outside as one goes up to the entrance of the north gate, were two tables; and off to the other side of the vestibule of the gate were two tables. 41 (BU)Four tables were on either side of the gate, eight tables, (BV)on which to slaughter. 42 And there were four tables (BW)of hewn stone for the burnt offering, a cubit and a half long, and a cubit and a half broad, and one cubit high, on which the instruments were to be laid with which the (BX)burnt offerings and the sacrifices were slaughtered. 43 And hooks,[j] a handbreadth long, were fastened all around within. And on the tables the flesh of the offering was to be laid.
Chambers for the Priests
44 On the outside of the inner gateway there were two (BY)chambers[k] in the (BZ)inner court, one[l] at the side of the north gate facing south, the other at the side of the south[m] gate facing north. 45 And he said to me, “This chamber that faces south is for the priests (CA)who have charge of the temple, 46 and the chamber that faces north is for the priests (CB)who have charge of the altar. These are (CC)the sons of Zadok, who alone[n] among the sons of Levi may come (CD)near to the Lord to minister to him.” 47 And he measured the court, (CE)a hundred cubits long and (CF)a hundred cubits broad, a square. And (CG)the altar was in front of the temple.
The Vestibule of the Temple
48 Then he brought me to (CH)the vestibule of the temple and measured the (CI)jambs of the vestibule, five cubits on either side. And the breadth of the gate was fourteen cubits, and the sidewalls of the gate[o] were three cubits on either side.

9 Their offspring shall be known among the nations,

The Future Glory of Israel
60 (A)Arise, shine, for your light has come,

2 For behold, darkness shall cover the earth,
and thick darkness the peoples;
but the Lord will arise upon you,
and his glory will be seen upon you.
3 (C)And nations shall come to your light,
and kings to the brightness of your rising.
4 (D)Lift up your eyes all around, and see;
they all gather together, they come to you;
(E)your sons shall come from afar,
and your daughters shall be carried on the hip.
5 Then you shall see and (F)be radiant;
your heart shall thrill and exult,[a]
because the abundance of the sea shall be turned to you,
(G)the wealth of the nations shall come to you.
6 A multitude of camels shall cover you,
the young camels of (H)Midian and (I)Ephah;
all those from (J)Sheba shall come.
(K)They shall bring gold and frankincense,
and shall bring good news, the praises of the Lord.
7 All the flocks of (L)Kedar shall be gathered to you;
the rams of (M)Nebaioth shall minister to you;
(N)they shall come up with acceptance on my altar,
(O)and I will beautify my beautiful house.
8 Who are these that fly like a cloud,
and (P)like doves to their windows?
9 For (Q)the coastlands shall hope for me,
(R)the ships of Tarshish first,
(S)to bring your children from afar,

The Restoration of Israel
8 Thus says the Lord:
(D)“In a (E)time of favor I have answered you;
in a day of salvation I have helped you;
I will keep you (F)and give you
as a covenant to the people,
to establish the land,
(G)to apportion the desolate heritages,
9 (H)saying to the prisoners, ‘Come out,’
to those who are in darkness, ‘Appear.’
(I)They shall feed along the ways;
on all bare heights shall be their pasture;
10 (J)they shall not hunger or thirst,
neither scorching wind nor sun shall strike them,
for he who has pity on them (K)will lead them,
and by springs of water will guide them.
11 (L)And I will make all my mountains a road,
and my highways shall be raised up.
12 (M)Behold, these shall come from afar,
and behold, (N)these from the north and from the west,[a]
and these from the land of Syene.”[b]
13 (O)Sing for joy, O heavens, and exult, O earth;
break forth, O mountains, into singing!
For the Lord (P)has comforted his people
and will have compassion on his afflicted.
14 But Zion said, (Q)“The Lord has forsaken me;
my Lord has forgotten me.”
15 (R)“Can a woman forget her nursing child,
that she should have no compassion on the son of her womb?
Even these may forget,
yet I will not forget you.
16 Behold, (S)I have engraved you on the palms of my hands;
your walls are continually before me.
17 Your builders make haste;[c]
(T)your destroyers and those who laid you waste go out from you.
18 (U)Lift up your eyes around and see;
they all gather, they come to you.
(V)As I live, declares the Lord,
(W)you shall put them all on as an ornament;
you shall bind them on as a bride does.
19 “Surely your waste and your desolate places
and your devastated land—
(X)surely now you will be too narrow for your inhabitants,
and those who swallowed you up will be far away.
20 (Y)The children of your bereavement
will yet say in your ears:
(Z)‘The place is too narrow for me;
make room for me to dwell in.’
21 Then you will say in your heart:
‘Who has borne me these?
(AA)I was bereaved and barren,
exiled and put away,
but who has brought up these?
Behold, I was left alone;
from where have these come?’”
22 Thus says the Lord God:
“Behold, I will lift up my hand to the nations,
(AB)and raise my signal to the peoples;
(AC)and they shall bring your sons in their arms,[d]
and your daughters shall be carried on their shoulders.
23 (AD)Kings shall be your foster fathers,
and their queens your nursing mothers.
(AE)With their faces to the ground they shall bow down to you,
and (AF)lick the dust of your feet.
Then you will know that I am the Lord;
(AG)those who wait for me (AH)shall not be put to shame.”
24 Can the prey be taken from the mighty,
or the captives of a tyrant[e] be rescued?
25 For thus says the Lord:
(AI)“Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken,
and the prey of the tyrant be rescued,
for I will contend with those who contend with you,
and I will save your children.
26 (AJ)I will make your oppressors eat their own flesh,
and they shall be drunk (AK)with their own blood as with wine.
Then all flesh shall know
that (AL)I am the Lord your Savior,
and your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.”
